Kalamazoo

Located in the heart of Southwest Michigan and only two hours from both Detroit and Chicago, Kalamazoo is the perfect blend of big city and small town, with one major kicker: the Kalamazoo Promise, which allows Kalamazoo Public Schools students the opportunity to go to college for free!

Home to three colleges (Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo College, and Kalamazoo Valley Community College), Kalamazoo offers entertainment choices typically found only in large cities: a vibrant symphony orchestra, Broadway musicals, fantastic museums (including the Air Zoo and the Gilmore Car Museum, both of which must be seen to be believed), music, shopping, the Kalamazoo Institute of Art, nearby casinos, and many of West Michigan's finest restaurants.

The aforementioned Kalamazoo Promise is only one piece of the puzzle. Kalamazoo's employers are well diversified, which has consistently created one of the best employment pictures in the state. Our major employers include Pfizer, Bronson and Borgess Hospitals, National City Bank, Stryker Corporation, and Meijer.

Kalamazoo is a great place to raise a family. Friendly, fun, and vibrant are just a few words used to describe this city. If you're looking for a country feel, visit Kalamazoo's farmers markets, amazing hiking and biking trails, and golf courses galore. If that's not enough, we're only half an hour from beautiful Lake Michigan!
